Dredging needs doing

As a resident of Ettalong and a business owner, I am extremely alarmed by reports that without dredging of Little Box Head Channel the ferry service to Palm Beach will be cancelled before the end of the year.

It is of no concern to me which governmental body is responsible for this; the dredging just needs to be done.

The ferry service is of vital importance to Ettalong Beach and the Peninsula.

Gosford Council should also be concerned that their plans for Gosford waterfront will be unutilised as boats will be unable to enter Brisbane Water.

This is an issue requiring immediate action and I urge all those who would be affected if the ferry service were cancelled to put pen to paper or pick up the phone to urge council, State Government and Federal Government to find a way to rectify this problem urgently.
